Soil may be defined as the upper thin layer of earth’s crust, which serves as a natural medium for the growth of plants. Soil is formed by slow weathering of parent rocks under the combined effect of physical, chemical and biological factors. Soil differs from the parent material in the morphological, physical, chemical and biological properties.
